quinn (And Penny, since they matched so well)We went to a fun Halloween party yesterday afternoon. My friend had made all of this 'Halloween' themed food, it was so cute. Most of the kiddos at the party"cheese." man he is getting so bigThen we went Trunk-or-treating with the cousins. Quinn and Levi are too cute together.All the cousins (and me). It looks like I need to lay off the doughnuts.me and my cute little skeletonHendrix getting the hang of the trick-or-treatingfinally-- all that walking around and he finally gets a treat :)or two. (note to self, don't give X a sucker while he's in the car. Note two: make sure he poops out the stick to that sucker)Hope you are all having a very Happy Halloween!!!

i haven't uploaded the pictures from my camera yet, but Dave put this on his Twitter, so I stole it. our cute little skeleton. He got the hang of trick-or-treating pretty fast. Going right up to the candy bowls and helping himself-- even to seconds. Atta boy.

my next door neighbor throws a Halloween carnival every year for kiddos. Here's Quinn all dressed upshe was pretty excited :)sorry dude... the one picture I took of Hendrix with my camera.quinn played for 20 minutes before she had her tragedy.quinn was chasing Hendrix down the sidewalk and fell. she ripped holes in both knees (of her brand new tights...) and scraped one knee pretty good. plus she was crying so hard that she peed her pants. the party was over for her.unfortunately it started raining :(

I made Quinn a trick-or-treat bag to match her costume (She's going to be a ballerina). The bag turned out cute, but photographed not so cute. The pinks match in real life, just not in the photo. So just trust me :) I wanted it to be dainty, and probably should have used white fabric, but I had the pink polka dot and it matched her outfit, so I used it anyway. And I probably spent WAY too long on this considering it's a TRICK-OR-TREAT bag.she's going to be one cute little ballerina. I can't wait to see her in the whole outfit. we have a party tomorrow that she'll dress up for, so I'll take some pictures.

I've been sewing!!! Sometimes I find joy in mass producing things, and sewing is definitely something I do when I need to feel better. It was a tough week. One of my dear friends lost her baby this week. Which it's maybe a little ironic that I still spent the week sewing mainly baby items. I like to keep some baby gifts on hand and my stock was getting low. Here are some changing padsSome binky clips. I used THIS tutorial. Although I had to modify the measurements.. I don't know why.a rice bag I made my friend Amy for her birthday. This has been my go-to present this year. My friend Audra made me one a few years ago and I've LOVED it. and some burp rags. I made a few more sets... but I already put some in the baby's closet. I think baby V or baby H will need some new ones :)

here's my 20 week belly. all ready to go out for Girl's Night. Thanks for the fun night Christy and Amy!!!another shot of my boots. Before my mom decided to buy my boots for my birthday she had said the same thing as many of you-- that she NEVER sees me in anything except Cons or flip flops. so true. :)

Hendrix has been into wearing silly things lately. Too small of hoodies (with the hood up, of course), Quinn's slippers, and now this apron/hat/oven mitt combo. And don't worry, I went and got him some 'boy' slippers today since he can't seem to live without slippers on his feet lately.oh how I love those chubby baby arms and hands.
